Picked the spot due to it being a central location. Seemed busy for a Sunday with a lot of people grabbing to go boxed food as well as large groups. The food was hit and miss; the soup special was excellent. The salads were great, except the feta on the greek salad was super skimpy (other toppings good amount). The pastas were well received by the table. Everyone agreed the pizzas were flat out, just not good. They came out soggy, and one of them just tasted "off". Bartender and hostess was wonderful. Loved the space/ambience! Waitress seemed ok but kind of inexperienced. At the end of the night someone spilled a drink, and she barely assisted in cleaning it up. They took the glass and basically left us to use our used napkins to wipe it up, and the floor was covered in the drink. No one came out with a mop. She also never brought out the wrapped leftovers. The pace of food coming out, and other details were handled well. We never felt rushed. Check was handled well.

We had a good experience overall with food and ambiance at the restaurant. It took them a while to bring out our order and they kept making mistakes as the servers were being trained. What I disliked the most is the additional fee they add for using credit cards which should be covered by the business, not us.
